Terms in This Guide

  • Artificial intelligence (AI) is a broad term for technology that simulates human intelligence.
  • Bias is a type of error that can occur in a large language model if its output is skewed by the model’s training data. See the Concerns & Considerations tab.
  • Generative AI, which we focus on in this guide, is technology that creates content—including text, images, video and computer code—by identifying patterns in large quantities of training data, and then creating original material that has similar characteristics.
